Like I said I just finished my stand for a 150. When building it I decided to put in two extra 2x4 bracing across the top. total of six all together...well my dumb ass dind think ahead when adding the second suport and now that I put the tank on top I realize the are blocking 2 1/2 inch drain holes (not the main 1 inch sump holes but still...Im ****ed! What an idiot!!!!

No i made sure to measure that are 4 times so i didn't block the holes.
Now i just got to figure out if i want to cut out the whole over flow box or just the drain and return holes in the top.
